Eve has always called the Crystal Forest her home—a magical world where trees have quartz bark, the rivers sing with tumbling gems, and the moss glows with a gentle light. But a strange sadness is falling over the land. A formless, creeping shadow is consuming the forest’s sparkle, leaving behind a cold, colorless silence. When Eve discovers a tiny, warm crystal shard humming with forgotten energy, she is set on a perilous quest. Guided by a loyal firefly named Flicker, she must journey through echoing caverns and across chattering chasms to find the Heart of the Forest.

Neither works. But what if there was a smarter way?
